Gib Hunt, 94, hasn’t danced for
more than 15 years, ever since her
husband died.
But Thursday, many residents at
her home in Alpine Springs Assist
ed Living and Cottage said they
were astounded to see her waltzing
across the makeshift dance floor
dozens of times.
"I think my dancing
days are over, but
/ like to watch."
Hazel Gardner
Alpine Springs resident
Hunt was one of about 50 resi
dents to take part in the second
annual “Young at Heart Senior Cit
izens Prom,” organized by the Chi
Omega sorority and Delta Sigma
Phi fraternity. The Alpine Springs
dining area was decorated with
balloons, and members of Chi
Omega and Delta Sigma Phi served
refreshments and played music
from the 1940s and 1950s, and
more recent hits by the Beatles
and Huey Lewis.
“Some of them might not have
had a prom experience in the
past,” said James George, Delta Sig
ma Phi spokesman and philanthro
py chairman. “We’re putting this
on for them so they would have a
really fun night.”
While some residents were un
able to dance, many dared to chal
lenge the younger generation on
the dance floor. Chi Omega and
Delta Sigma Phi prepared for the
dance by hiring a dance instructor
to teach them dances such as the
fox trot and the waltz.
“It’s fantastic that all these people
have come, and these people from
our building have come down,” 76
year-old Isabel Aird said.
Students and organizers of the
event said it was their way of giving
back to the community in a fun and
original way.
“They bring an incredible
amount of energy and enthusi
asm,” Alpine Springs Activities Di
rector Tracie Poupa said. “We’re
having an absolutely wonderful
time here tonight.”
Hazel Gardner, who was bound
to a wheelchair for the evening,
said it was a pleasure to see the stu
dents come and visit with her.
Gardner, 102, has spent all her life
in the Eugene area, and has six
children, 18 grandchildren, 41
great-grandchildren and four great
great-grandchildren.
“I think my dancing days are over,
but I like to watch,” Gardner said.
Students chatted with Alpine
Springs residents, sipped punch and
munched on snacks before dancing.
Bob Weame, 78, was constantly sur
rounded by Chi Omega members.
“You should come here more of
ten,” he told them, smiling.
Most of the residents were in their
late 80s and 90s, and Poupa said she
was pleased to see the two different
generations mingle.
“The (students) are very re

spectful of the senior citizens,”
Poupa said, adding that Chi
Omega and Delta Sigma Phi mem
bers overlooked many of the sen
iors’ disabilities and danced with
them anyway.
“Our house was really looking for
ward to this,” Chi Omega spokes
woman Hillary Jahnke said.
